Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/13

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Town Hall Snowmobile Club Paradise MI >> 01/13

Paradise- Hulbert- Trout Lake- Rudyard- Brimley area- back to paradise. Perfect trails today with very few bad spots but they are the usual suspects- A little thin around Rudyard and paradise’s south swamp is closed (easy to get around but a little bumpy on the side of 123) along with a water hole in the federal forest (easy to just take Curley Lewis a mile or so to 123). The pictures should say it all.

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/13

1/13/25
23 degrees this morning and snowing. Its hard to say how much snow we got in the last 24 hrs cause of the wind but I`ll say 3-4″ here at my place. The wind has switched to the NW and “they” are calling for more snow for the next few days with the temps gettin good and cold too!!

I was the only one to run yesterday. I hit the South trail #8 and will call it just fair. The snow is a bit thin in many spots. The good news is the water holes at the south end of the power line are gettin smaller and you can get around them easy. The bad news is the water holes at the south end of the Federal Forest section aren`t gettin much better. You can get around them but it is tough cause its so tight in there. We do plan on going into the swamp south of town tomorrow and see what its like in there.

We will hit the Pine Stump trail and the Point trails today.

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Groomer Chris

MACKINAC COUNTY UPDATE via Mackinac County Snowmobile Association >> Monday March 16th
Trail update
Firsts thoughts are what the heck do we do??? Well at the moment we unhooked drag and running the John Deere track tractor just to try and break through. We received somewhere around 3ft so far where it hasn't blowed. There is 6 ft plus drifting in spots. The drifts are gonna get hard to. As much as I would like to say it's awesome out here it just isn't and will take several days to get somewhat of a trail. We are just getting started so there could be more surprises but we are trying!! For the next several days if you are coming up our trails are drifting and there is so much snow that it will take several trips to get smoothed out. We will update when things change.

GRAND MARAIS AREA UPDATE via Grand Marais Sno-Trails Assoc. >> Trail update" WE HAVE SNOW!!! Unfortunately we are holding off grooming until the weather dies down and then long enough to get dug out!! I do not know how many inches of snowfall we have had with this current storm, but drifts are from 5 to 10 feet around my house and driveway!
I hope everyone is staying safe and indoors. It took about 35 minutes to dig out far enough for our dog to go out... and right back in!!! I put a shovel in the snow on top of where our generator is...in case power goes out and it don't start I will be able to find it. Stay safe, ride right, and for now, bench race!!!

NEWBERRY AREA UPDATE via Tahquamenon General Store >> 2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours. Definitely closed until further notice. If your needing to be out, but shouldn't be Paradise Rec Sports did post they were Open until 6 pm. Glad someone can accommodate for emergency sake. Wheelhouse Diner is also Open. I'd advice to stay off road so county plow trucks can do their job without risk of someone stuck on highway, which report big truck near Rivermouth stuck on M123 in snow drift. Be safe, be smart. #newberry #snowphotos2nd time digging out drifted paths from house to store. Hard to predict the total so far , but I'd say 20" and blizzard warnings for another 18 hours.

Paradise Area Trail Report – 01/12

PARADISE AREA UPDATE via Paradise Area Night Riders – 01/12

1/12/25
28 degrees this morning, cloudy and very windy out of the SE. No new snow in the last 24 hrs but the weather guessers are calling for some for the next few days, lets hope they are right, sure could use it as the guys are saying some spots are still pretty thin for snow…..like this……

Groomer Dave ran the Point trails yesterday and reported it turned out good +. He did not run the Doe Lake rd ridge cause its so thin on snow.

Groomer Keith ran the Pine Stump trail and said it turned out good but there are some thin spots also. He told me he had alot of trouble with riders following him around and tearing up his fresh groom. This is one reason we don`t believe in the groomer tracker (aka: groomer chaser) thing. These people just wreck it for everyone else!

I am runnin the South trail #8 today and I think I`ll be the only one out, but not 100% sure on that one.

In other than trail news………We have a bunch of trail maps if any of the local businesses need any. Just get ahold of one of us, ya`ll know who we are.

I want to give a HUGE thank-you to Dan and Monica Millikan for all the groomer snacks, pop and the 30 rack. MUCH appreciated!!!!!!!!

LET `ER SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sure could use it
Groomer Chris
